Dalrymen everywhere recognize the i'm
portance of providing a full supply of the
most nutritious food for their stock during
winter, as we'll AS during the extreme of
the heated term when pasturuge is poor.
More silos will be built the present season
than ever before. The usefulness of this
method of preserving a fresh supply of the
best food for stock of all kinds has been
proved by repeated tests of several years
duration. John Gould, who has q world
VIDE reputation as writer, speaker, and
editor of all matters pertaining 10 the
dairy, thinks at least a thousand silos will
lie constructed this season IN Wisconsin,
where he las passed much of the winter in
attendance on the various farmers insti-
tutes. About fifty were built last season,
hut the lessons and experience of the past
winter have convinced farmers and dairy
men lat IN no other way can they reap so
great benefit from farms and diaries as in
providing a plentiful supply OF sweet
ensilage. Mr.. Gould says Hon. Hiram
Smith, whose name Is familiar household
word IN Wisconsin as one of the most sue
Cessful dairymen in that State, with the
aid Of 6uO-ton silo, now keeps ll6 COWS on
100 acres Of cleared land and sells his but
ter on a yearly contract at 80 cents per
pound. With or without a silo, by plant
ing good corn the equal OF six to ten tons of
good hay can be obtained from an acre of
ground.
No reason exists why the dairymen of
this country should not be prosperous if
they live up to their privileges and make
use Of the information that is born Of eX-
perience and Is given free to all by men
who have made tests of years to confirm
the truths they tell.-ErchaHge.

correspondent of an Irish paper makes
these recommendations: First pat the
horse on the neck, examine him carefully,
first one side, then the other; if Won can
get him handful of grass give it to him,
and speak encouTagimgly to him. Then
jump into the wagon and give the word 90,
and he will generally obey. Second, TAX
ing the horse out of the shafts and turning
HIM around in circle until he is giddy,
VIII generally start him, Third, another
way TO cure balky horse is, place your
hand over his nose and shut oil his wind
until he wants to go. Fourth, then, again,
take n couple of turns of stout Irvine around
the fore legs Just below the knee, tight
enough for the horse to feel it; tie in "a
bow knot. AT The first click he will prob
ably 90 dancing off. After going a short
distance you can get out and remove the
string, TO prevent injury TO the tendons.
Fifth, again, you can try the following:
Take the tail of the horse between the
hind legs, and tie it by a cord to tie saddle-
girth! Sixth, the last remedy know is as
follows: Tie a string around the horses
ear close to the head. This will divert his
attention and start HIM.

Ierdaan Lnr Eront.

The man who feeds best is the man who
makes the most money. Many farmers
think they make money when they allow
animals TO get bone poor in winter, but
they are greatly mistaken. The only profit
ever made IN fattened animals Is what Is
put on daily Overland above the daily waste.
The daily waste is a constant integer. an
unavoidable one, and amounts to about
what the animal viii consume IN winter of
fairly well-cured hay if kept in comfort
able quarters. In severe weather when
cattle are kept ont OF doors the loss, even
when fed good hay, will often average a
pound a day, aud for the four winter
months of severe weather this would show
loss of 100 pounds. All this must be
made up the next summer. If this thin
ming down could he prevented the cow or
steer would have so much the advantage
to start in on when grass comes. Why not
keep the animal growing right along from
calfhood, or colthoOd, or swinehoOd, or
lambhood, as the case may be? Those
who make money out of stock do So.
Did YOU ever figure on this integer of
daily bodily waste III the feeding Of AMI
mails, If so, YOU probably believe that
the only way 10 make money in feeding
stock is to ICED fully from birth to the
L1tcher's block. 1t is the only way to re-
Nu 2 NdllN waste 10 q lullllLu lIl ana insure
the largestproht for the food given.
This waste is partly in keeping up bodily
heat. Another cause Of waste arises from
exercise, ana still another from the fact
that the animal does not assimilate
all the food eaten. But this latter waste
the manure is not dead loss. If taken care
of it keeps the land IN condition to raise
crops again to be fed out. The manure
therefore, is all the farmer gets for tie
food given an animal where 1t is so led as
simply to supply daily waste. The gam IN
flesh represents his profit from the grain
fed. If beef is worth , cents G. pound and
he gets five pounds OF flesh to the buslel
of corn, he receives p cents per bu hel for
his corn. If the bushel of corn makes
eight pounds the value of the corn Is 40
cents. In the one case the farmer might
come ont about even: in the other the
profit on each bushel Of corn fed would e
- cents, 1t is a matter worth figuring Gu.

Society Verses.

Austin Dobson, the English poet, has
written twelve rules for the composition of
GERS sOcietc-or society verses. Dob
son ought to be familiar with the requisites
for that peculiar kind OF composition, for
no writer Of to-day surpasses him IN writ
ing society verses. The most important
rule of all, however, he seems to have for

True poetry is either sad or earnest.
There is no such thing as light, trivial, or
humorous poetry. When the divine affatus
becomes triting and earth groveling. it is
simply destitute of that higher essence
which distinctly makes it poetry, and it
degenerates into mere rhymed prose-

An English forester writes: Far too fire.
quently it happens that in old specimen
hardwood trees the trunks are rendered
uusightly by holes caused either by natural
decay of the wood or an accident, and when
such trees are growing in conspicuous
positions and the wounds near the ground
level, they become most unsightlv. and
steps should at once be taken to set mat
ters right, whether by removing the trees
or filing up such holes in the stems
Apart altogether from being unsightly,
such holes exercise a powerful influence in
causing rOttenness throughout the whole
stem IN which they occur by forming as it
were lnle,s for water. To til up such
holes Is easy enough, and after repeated
experiments we find the following method
Of doing so to answer better than any other
previously tried. Scrape out and remove
every particle of damp, decavlug matter
from the hole, fill 1t with dry, broken
brick bats, cement the surface eve MY over
with the bark, and paint II as net rly the
color OF the bark as possible. Several
diseased holes so treated on old oak trees
in the park here could now hardly be
noticed, and | have every reason to believe
that rom the number of years since the
experiment was tried, and the present
healthy appearance of the trees. The filling
III of such holes has had a wonderful effect
in staying and arresting disease and rot.
The experiment is both cheap and simple,
50 let everyone who has an eyesore of an
oak with a holed stem, set about filing
these up at once with Cd brickbats and
cementing the surface with concrete. Nail
ing piece of zinc over the hole has cen
tried, but however carefully this NAV be
done, dampness is sure to set in and ruin
the stem. Clefts between upricht-growng
branches, that are hut harhors for rain
water, may be treated similar to the oaks
above described, and the surface of the
concrete tarred over, this latter having
likewise a wonderful effect in keeping out
damp and preserving amputated limbs and
smaller branches from contracting rot.
